My gut reaction was “That’s an absurd theory. No one would inconvenience everyone else just to stick it to some black women”....then I remembered I live in America.

Because institutionalized racism isn’t about logic.

Yeah, I was expecting a bunch of morning drunk, lululemon wearing sorority girls causing a kerfuffle. Not a bunch of alums at a national conference carrying GASP!!! BOOKS!!!! Meanwhile, didn’t the TSA just fail like 97% surprise tests of screening actual guns, knives and incendiary devices?

And of course Delta Sigma Theta is primarily a black sorority.

Irrational TSA guidelines caused this delay.

Oh, FFS. This whole bag check thing wouldn’t have anything to do with Delta Sigma Theta being a historically black sorority, would it? Naah!

Exactly. I am really bothered by all the comments saying that everyone thinks he is a joke and he has no chance. I don’t think people realize how much his doubling down on stupid, racist comments is appreciated and adored by millions and millions of people. This Fox News Talking Points segment from a while back comes…

the notion that women are the primary victims of gun homicide is the exact opposite of what’s true:

A thousand times yes. Domestic violence plus guns equals a literal war on women.

Won’t change a thing. Something deep inside many people makes them believe that if you’re rich it’s because God is on your side. With that reasoning the bad things you do are acceptable or even right.

Your mother and your coworkers aren’t nearly as nice, smart, considerate and kind as you think they are.

Yes, what American needs is a true Christian, a man with the moral fortitude to shackle pregnant women to hospital beds until they are forced to give birth against their wishes.

You think? It’s clearly the case.

Gummo. yes. weird disturbing and fucked up. wonderful.

Imagine how much better off we’d all be if instead of all this posturing about religious beliefs, and nonsensical rights of fetuses, everyone just helped people who really needed it.

It’s a sentient UTI. If that isn’t the definition of newsworthy then I don’t know what is.

my only burning concern is why CNN is giving this sentient UTI a platform to speak

Oof, Spaceballs is a chore now. Blazing Saddles is, of course, still perfection.

I had already started feeling old when I recognized Fitzpatrick during his run on The Wire, and that was ten years ago. <feels older />
